Deputy District Attorney Harrison Kennedy told the judge during the arraignment that Bray and Saucedo met in the Navy and started dating in 2010. They broke up near the end of last year.

“It appeared that she was jealous over the mother of (Saucedo’s) son,” Kennedy explained in a phone interview.

But Bray had trouble letting go.

She continued to pursue Saucedo for several months and committed seven acts of vandalism, including popping the tires on his car, throwing paint at his apartment door and smearing peanut butter on the door, the prosecutor said.

Saucedo switched apartments, but Bray found him.

On Monday, Bray visited Saucedo at his apartment and they talked about their relationship. She told him she wanted a long-term commitment, but Saucedo did not, the prosecutor said. She got angry and left the next morning.

She returned about 3:30 p.m. A short time later, neighbors heard two sets of gunshots.

A Navy spokesman said Saucedo was a petty officer second class and was assigned to damage control as a firefighter and repairman.

Saucedo, from Chicago, joined the Navy in 1999 and left in January to attend the University of Phoenix full time and spend more time with his son. The boy lives locally with his mother, Messenger said.

Saucedo wanted to go into law enforcement, and loved music and movies.
